Nymphs in antiquity (the young female deities that rendered the modern term nymphē (bride in Greek), are associated with the word "nubere", the idea of blossoming. According to the Roman grammarian Hesychius, the same word applies to the bud of a rose. What better floral nod to our concept than lavish David Austins in subtle blush to become the focal point of our floral arrangements. Maria Voudouri paired the opulent blooms with wild roses, lavender, white Philadelphus for its heady scent, topped with jasmine, sweet peas, coral bell leaves, Calocephalus, Ivy and smoke bush Cotinus buds. The outcome was an exceptional melding of textures and aromas, that added an ethereal feel and delicate movement of each synthesis.
